i received a call at our office that a shooting had taken place at a school near newtown. once we understood at least a portion of what had happened, got in the car and proceeded down to newtown from hartford. and then, you know, hours went by. and ultimately had to break it to the families, about 20 of the families represented in the room at the fire house that their loved one was not going to be joined with them. and that obviously was a tough moment for me. and i think for everyone. and, by the way, i shouldn't even say that. so much tougher for people who lost a wife or a child. but it was -- it's been a couple of tough days. >> what do you know now as we talk to pete williams about the investigation? do you have any more information that you're yet getting from your investigators that would explain why he targeted this school, why he went on this rampage at all? >> you know, as i think was stated, he had a relationship to the school. had attended there. at least that's what i'm led to believe. but beyond that, no, we really don't know a whole lot. this is a very deepl
